Coaching – Design Pathways

Coaching is available for individuals, groups, and teams, on its own or alongside any Design Pathways learning program, to provide accountability and support on your journey of personal and professional growth.

How Our Coaching Works

Our coaching empowers you with a deeply meaningful and impactful experience that is guided, actionable, thought-provoking, and fun. When you partner with us as your coaches, we promise to actively listen, empathize, ask insightful questions, and maintain your confidentiality. On your coaching journey, we help you define goals to design for your success, uncover gaps in your thinking and behavior, gain new insights, achieve breakthroughs, and celebrate your progress.

Individual Coaching

Each 1–1.5-hour one-on-one coaching session is personalized just for you. Our creative process includes a Coaching Journal where we capture key takeaways, add custom exercises tailored to your unique challenges and needs, and help you develop a plan to achieve your goals.

Group Coaching

We facilitate 1–2-hour group coaching sessions to create space for vulnerability, work through challenges chosen by the group or team or topics covered in our training workshops, build relationships, and break down silos. We lead guided breakout rooms with powerful prompts that encourage open discussion, peer support, and collaborative problem-solving.

Every session is different, and the experience is unique to you and your group or team. Read below to hear what Becky and Terence had to say about working with us after six coaching sessions.

'Coaching was incredibly valuable to me. The experience provided me with structure, flexibility, and accountability. I brought my own challenges to focus on and received useful tools that helped me be in control of my growth. I was able to see patterns that I could design and apply solutions for immediately. I developed new ways to structure my time, prepare for meetings, interact with teammates, and prioritize tasks. Amy and Pradeep will be your biggest advocates and they will push you in a way that helps you grow. Most of all, you will enjoy the process! I wholeheartedly recommend coaching to anyone who is looking to go from feeling stuck to feeling empowered.'

'Thank you, Design Pathways, for helping me become a better version of myself. Coaching helped me define, work toward, and achieve leadership goals. For the first time in a long while, I made time to reflect, think about the future, and consider how I wanted to show up in life and work. It gave me clarity, structure, and the accountability I needed. Having a safe space to talk freely, without judgment, and receive honest feedback made a real impact. I was gently challenged on my beliefs and encouraged to see things from others’ perspectives, which became a valuable tool in my leadership. I’ve noticed a big shift in how I handle difficult situations and disagreements at work. My confidence has grown. I'm more thoughtful and objective in my decision-making, and my relationships at work have improved. Most of all, I am more consistent in who I am, and that has made me feel powerful and courageous in ways I hadn’t expected. The coaching experience was enjoyable, practical, and supportive. I looked forward to each session. The sessions flowed naturally, and the workbook gave me tangible exercises to work through challenges, revisit insights, and track my progress. I feel so lucky to have such amazing guides on this journey. I’ve loved every bit of it and look forward to continuing these sessions.'
